Renaissance Astrology Payment & Policies



Explanation of Astrological Services

Renaissance Astrology provides natal, horary, event chart and electional readings using the authentic techniques of the traditional astrology of the European Middle Ages, Renaissance and Early Modern Period. These readings work through the spiritual connection of all things, as propounded by traditional philosophy, religion and spirituality. While we strive to do our best, 100% accuracy is not possible. Most feedback from clients indicates that their reading was accurate, but occasionally our astrological predictions are incorrect. The best way to use astrological prediction is to consider it as additional information, adding one more piece to the puzzle and assisting you in making an informed decision for yourself about your situation. Remember that both a positive and a negative answer to your question are possible.

Please note that Renaissance Astrology provides just astrology readings not medical, legal or other professionally licensed services and no doctor-patient, attorney-client or other professionally regulated relationship is created by these readings.

Methods of Payment & Policies

Please note that I personally fulfill all orders. I try to respond immediately to all e-mails and my practice is to respond to all inquiries or orders within 24 hours. Please Contact me by phone or an alternate e-mail address if you have not heard from me in 24 hours as e-mails often go astray!

I accept payment by Paypal. Just press the appropriate Paypal button. If you already have a Paypal account you can use it or you can simply enter your credit card information as no Paypal account is necessary. Please Contact me if you have difficulty with Paypal. Please make sure that the e-mail address and shipping address of your Paypal account are current and accurate.

I am also happy to accept credit cards through my credit card processor Paypal. Note that this is a direct credit card payment, not a Paypal transaction. Just click the credit card icon to the left of the item to wish to order.

Y ou can also call me using my Contact information and I can take your credit card information directly.

I do not offer layaway or installment plans for payments. Note that courses are non-transferrable.

Due to professional licensing concerns, no astrology readings or magical items, including talismans or mirrors, are offered in Iowa or to Iowa residents. Also, again due to professional licensing concerns I cannot do astrology readings for legal questions like "Should I file a lawsuit?" or "What will the outcome of my criminal case?"

Shipping, Insurance, Refunds & Privacy Policy

Please note that neither the US nor foreign postal services nor private carriers are under my control and therefore I cannot be responsible for items lost or damaged when shipped, particularly items sent international airmail letter post or global priority mail which cannot be tracked. Customers are responsible for paying customs duties and for being aware of the customs regulations of their country or the country shipped to. If items are confiscated by customs or other foreign government officials the risk is on the customer and no refund, replacement or credit will be provided. All items, including talismans, mirrors and other magical items are shipped and declared for customs at their full value.

Not all shipments are insured and postal insurance is the only recourse for loss or damage so make sure you request insurance before the order ships and follow all applicable rules for receiving insurance settlements must be followed, e.g. retaining damaged item and packaging, cooperating in making claim, etc. If a client refuses insurance then they bear the risk of any loss or damage. All online courses and downloads are fully operational and students and customers must have a basic computer ability including knowing how to follow a link, unzip a file and use a username and password to download files as well as how to load an html file on a browser.

Feel free to share your written astrological reading with no more than 10 family members or friends, but any further distribution, including media or social media, publication of any kind or making the reading available to the public, requires my prior written approval and is in my sole discretion.


REFUND & MISCELLANEOUS CHARGE POLICIES

As a general rule, I'm not big on refunds for readings. Once I've spent my time and effort on a reading, there's no way to me to get my time back. I do my best to be as accurate as possible, but it is impossible to have 100% accuracy and I cannot guarantee customer satisfaction, particularly since you may be unhappy because you got a negative answer. If you've paid, but haven't gotten your reading, you can cancel and get a refund once, but because Paypal charges me the transaction fee for refunds unless there is a good reason I will not do any further reading orders for you. Once the reading has been provided, I discourage refunds, but make the final decision on a case by case basis. Please Contact me to discuss any problems or to request a refund. Keep in mind that if you get a refund for a completed reading that shows me that we can't work together and I do not accept further orders once I have given a refund on a completed reading. Please note that with all refunds Paypal (the payment processor for both Paypal transactions and all credit card transactions) does not refund its fees, so any refund you receive will not include the fees that Paypal keeps.

With regard to course refunds, please Contact me! It is easy to get stuck or get frustrated and want to give up. I am here to teach you and want to help you learn and master this exciting material. Again, course refunds are decided on a case by case basis. Keep in mind that for courses, I provide the course books at cost. If you return the books to me in new, undamaged condition, I will refund the printing cost of the books, which is less than the retail price. I cannot give you a refund on the software due to piracy concerns. In addition, your refund is reduced on a pro rata basis for each lesson I have corrected and I may assess a 15% handling and restocking charge. Again, getting a course refund shows me that we can't work together, so if you get a course refund I will not accept further orders from you. Please note that with all refunds Paypal (the payment processor for both Paypal transactions and all credit card transactions) does not refund its fees, so any refund you receive will not include the fees that Paypal keeps.

No refunds, returns or exchanges on orders of books, CDs or software. Replacement books or CDs are provided if the original has a manufacturing defect. You must retain the damaged item and provide a digital picture of damage as well as any other necessary cooperation required for replacement or insurance. Please note that our software has been tested and works on all Windows operating systems currently supported. Computers are so complex, however, that you may encounter individualized compatibility problems that require local technical support that you will need to arrange for yourself.

Please note that while many clients are happy with their talismans, pentacles and other magical items, some are not and I cannot guarantee exactly what, if any, the effects will be for any individual client. It is possible that there will be no detectable effects. In addition, Renaissance Astrology talismans, pentacles and magical items are all hand made at precisely chosen times in very limited editions. Once a talisman has been shipped, it is used and I cannot re-sell it. Because used talismans cannot be resold and because, as noted above I cannot guarantee what the effect of talismans will be there are NO REFUNDS, RETURNS OR EXCHANGES FOR TALISMANS, MIRRORS OR PENTACLES. If you buy a talisman, you take the risk of it not working as you wish or hope.

At Renaissance Astrology we are totally, completely and utterly dedicated to getting the correct and powerful astrological timing and then consecrating talismans at the elected time. You would not believe how difficult and time consuming this is. But you can't do everything and the surface appearance of the talismans and pentacles is about 3rd or 4th on the list. If we have to chose, which we sometimes have to, we are going to go with getting the timing and consecration perfect and let minor flaws in the appearance go. So be aware that with the artisanal and hand made processes we are using to individual craft talismans and pentacles, that some have casting flaws, variations in surface color and with gold plated pentacles and talismans there can be unplated lines, grooves or spots even at initial sale. In addition, gold plating can rub off. Feel free to replate, it will not affect magical power of the talisman or pentacle. There are no refunds, returns or exchanges of talismans and pentacles due to flaws in initial appearance or subsequent tarnish, initial gold plating flaws or gold plating wearing or rubbing off or other talisman or pentacle wear and tear.

I discourage ordering and then changing your mind before the item ships, because I have to personally pack and repack all orders. I may assess a $10 repacking charge per change, again with the understanding that once an order ships, no refunds, exchanges or returns are possible. Each talisman is handmade, not stamped out by a mass production machine. The individual variations and idiosyncracies are what make these talismans valuable and truly show that every piece really is unique. Pieces of the same style may each have slightly different coloring, shapes and textures, dissimilar curves and even slightly varying sizes as well as casting or surface flaws. Items may have tarnish, color variations and casting flaws. These really are more than just jewelry, they are beautiful magic objects, each piece as unique as the ultimate owner.

For all orders involving shipping I reserve the right to charge a $10 repacking fee for any order changes and refuse multiple order changes. When any items returned by the US or other postal services or private carriers, unless this was due to an error on my part, clients are responsible for any additional shipping. Generally I will attempt to contact the client to arrange for reshipping. If I cannot contact the client or for some other reason the items are not reshipped, I reserve the right to charge a 15% handling and restocking fee and subtract this from any refund. Once again, refunds show me that we can't work together, so if you get a refund, I will generally refuse any further orders. Please note that with all refunds Paypal (the payment processor for both Paypal transactions and all credit card transactions) does not refund its fees, so any refund you receive will not include the fees that Paypal keeps.


PRIVACY POLICY

My general privacy policy is not to bother my clients, so I don't have any unsolicited communication with them; I don't send out mass e-mailings, solicitations or other advertisements. I don't store any credit card information unless specifically asked to by clients. I keep readings and communications with clients confidential as much as possible, but please keep in mind that these are only astrology readings and that not medical, legal or other professionally licensed services and no doctor-patient, attorney-client or privilege against legally required disclosure attaches to astrology readings or communications with an astrologer. I do not voluntarily release identifying information, but may use a chart or reading, without identifying information, for teaching purposes and in books, online and other media.
